All ready for this hatchling season! This is my new aldabra hatchling area i build several months ago. It is thriving with many types of grass and weeds. It is elevated about 12" above the ground with drainage ports and auto-irrigation. The rear is a built in shade/hide area. We keep our aldabra hatchlings in this area during the day usually for the first thirty days until they are sold. The picture was taken from within our florida room for easy and constant observation when the pen is occupied.
